Two Days…One Big Event!

Friday, August 24, 4 – 11 PM & Saturday, August 25, 12 – 11 PM

This isn’t your average fun run! This 2.2 mile run and fun walk starts & finishes at Mentor CityFest on the grounds of Civic Center Park, and runs along the bike path. Several color zones will leave you festively decorated! Registration includes a t-shirt and post-race fun & entertainment.

Mentor CityFest parade will kick-off Saturday, August 25, from Veteran’s Park and travel south along Hopkins Road to Center Street and pass by the grandstand in front of Fire Station #5 on Civic Center Boulevard.

Community groups, business and local entertainers will delight and entertain those watching along the one-mile route. This is a great way for your organization to be recognized and involved in our community.
